at The Lunt-Fontanne Theatre (205 West 46th Street, New York City)

This long-awaited production stars Roger Rees and Brooke Shields as Gomez and Morticia Addams, heads of the famously ghoulish clan. Though not short on theatrics, the production draws its inspiration more from the original New Yorker cartoons by Charles Addams, with their pitch-black humor, rather than the TV show and movies that followed. Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, authors of Jersey Boys, created this new twist on an old classic.
